Precautions  
1. Recording Copyright—Unless it’s for personal use  
only, recording copyrighted material is illegal with-  
out the permission of the copyright holder.  
For U.S. models  
FCC Information for User  
CAUTION:  
2. AC Fuse—The AC fuse inside the unit is not user-  
serviceable. If you cannot turn on the unit, contact  
your Onkyo dealer.  
The user changes or modifications not expressly  
approved by the party responsible for compliance could  
void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.  
3. Care—Occasionally you should dust the unit all  
over with a soft cloth. For stubborn stains, use a soft  
cloth dampened with a weak solution of mild deter-  
gent and water. Dry the unit immediately afterwards  
with a clean cloth. Don’t use abrasive cloths, thin-  
ners, alcohol, or other chemical solvents, because  
they may damage the finish or remove the panel let-  
tering.  
NOTE:  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply  
with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to  
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to  
provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-  
ence in a residential installation.  
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio  
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-  
dance with the instructions, may cause harmful interfer-  
ence to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular  
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-  
ference to radio or television reception, which can be  
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the  
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by  
one or more of the following measures:  
4. Power  
WARNING  
BEFORE PLUGGING IN THE UNIT FOR THE  
FIRST TIME, READ THE FOLLOWING SEC-  
TION CAREFULLY.  
AC outlet voltages vary from country to country.  
Make sure that the voltage in your area meets the  
voltage requirements printed on the unit’s rear panel  
(e.g., AC 230 V, 50 Hz or AC 120 V, 60 Hz).  
The power cord plug is used to disconnect this unit  
from the AC power source. Make sure that the plug  
is readily operable (easily accessible) at all times.  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation between the equipment and  
receiver.  
Pressing the [ON/STANDBY] button to select  
Standby mode does not fully shutdown the unit. If  
you do not intend to use the unit for an extended  
period, remove the power cord from the AC outlet.  
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-  
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.  
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-  
cian for help.  
5. Never Touch this Unit with Wet Hands—Never  
handle this unit or its power cord while your hands  
are wet or damp. If water or any other liquid gets  
inside this unit, have it checked by your Onkyo  
dealer.  
For Canadian Models  
NOTE: THIS CLASS B DIGITAL APPARATUS  
COMPLIES WITH CANADIAN ICES-003.  
For models having a power cord with a polarized plug:  
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK,  
MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT,  
FULLY INSERT.  
6. Handling Notes  
• If you need to transport this unit, use the original  
packaging to pack it how it was when you origi-  
nally bought it.  
• Do not leave rubber or plastic items on this unit  
for a long time, because they may leave marks on  
the case.  
• This unit’s top and rear panels may get warm  
after prolonged use. This is normal.  
• If you do not use this unit for a long time, it may  
not work properly the next time you turn it on, so  
be sure to use it occasionally.

Speaker Precautions  
Precautions—Continued  
Placement  
For British models  
• The subwoofer cabinet is made out of wood and is  
therefore sensitive to extreme temperatures and  
humidity, do not put it in locations subject to direct  
sunlight or in humid places, such as near an air condi-  
tioner, humidifier, bathroom, or kitchen.  
• Do not put water or other liquids close to the speakers.  
If liquid is spilled over the speakers, the drive units  
may be damaged.  
• Speakers should only be placed on sturdy, flat surfaces  
that are free from vibration. Putting them on uneven or  
unstable surfaces, where they may fall and cause dam-  
age, will affect the sound quality.  
• Subwoofer is designed to be used in the upright verti-  
cal position only. Do not use it in the horizontal or  
tilted position.  
Replacement and mounting of an AC plug on the power  
supply cord of this unit should be performed only by  
qualified service personnel.  
IMPORTANT  
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance  
with the following code:  
Blue:  
Neutral  
Brown: Live  
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this  
apparatus may not correspond with the coloured mark-  
ings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as  
follows:  
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to  
the terminal which is marked with the letter N or  
coloured black.  
• If the unit is used near a turntable, CD player or DVD  
player, howling or slipping of sound may occur. To  
prevent this, move the unit away from the turntable,  
CD player or DVD player, otherwise lower the unit’s  
output level.  
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to  
the terminal which is marked with the letter L or  
coloured red.  
IMPORTANT  
The plug is fitted with an appropriate fuse. If the fuse  
needs to be replaced, the replacement fuse must be  
approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362 and have the same  
ampere rating as that indicated on the plug. Check for  
the ASTA mark or the BSI mark on the body of the fuse.  
If the power cord’s plug is not suitable for your socket  
outlets, cut it off and fit a suitable plug. Fit a suitable  
fuse in the plug.  
Using Close to a TV or Computer  
TVs and computer monitors are magnetically sensitive  
devices and as such are likely to suffer discoloration or  
picture distortion when conventional speakers are  
placed nearby. To prevent this, the SKF-560F and  
SKC-560C feature internal magnetic shielding. In some  
situations, however, discoloration may still be an issue,  
in which case you should turn off your TV or monitor,  
wait 15 to 30 minutes, and then turn it back on again.  
This normally activates the degaussing function, which  
neutralizes the magnetic field, thereby removing any  
discoloration effects. If discoloration problems persist,  
try moving the speakers away from your TV or monitor.  
Note that discoloration can also be caused by a magnet  
or demagnetizing tool that’s too close to your TV or  
monitor.

Input Signal Warning  
GROEBENZELL, GERMANY  
The speakers can handle the specified input power when  
used for normal music reproduction. If any of the fol-  
lowing signals are fed to them, even if the input power is  
within the specified rating, excessive current may flow  
in the speaker coils, causing burning or wire breakage:  
1. Interstation noise from an untuned FM radio.  
2. Sound from fast-forwarding a cassette tape.  
3. High-pitched sounds generated by an oscillator,  
electronic musical instrument, and so on.  
K. MIYAGI

4. Amplifier oscillation.  
5. Special test tones from audio test CDs and so on.  
6. Thumps and clicks caused by connecting or discon-  
necting audio cables (Always turn off your amplifier  
before connecting or disconnecting cables.)  
7. Microphone feedback.

ConnectingYour Speakers  
Enjoying Home Theater  
Thanks to the AV receiver’s superb capabilities, you can enjoy surround sound with a real sense of movement in your  
own home—just like being in a movie theater or concert hall. You can enjoy DVDs featuring Dolby Digital or DTS.  
With analog or digital TV, you can enjoy Dolby Pro Logic IIx, DTS Neo:6, or Onkyo’s original DSP listening modes.  
Surround left and right speakers  
(SKM-560S)  
These speakers are used for precise  
sound positioning and to add realistic  
ambience.  
Front left and right speakers (SKF-560F)  
These output the main sound.Their role in a home theater is to provide a solid  
anchor for the sound image. They should be positioned facing the listener at  
about ear level, and equally spaced from the TV. Angle them inward slightly so  
as to create a triangle, with the listener at the apex.  
Position them at the sides of the lis-  
tener, or slightly behind, about 2–3 feet  
(60–100 cm) above ear level. Ideally  
they should be equally spaced from the  
listener.  
Center speaker (SKC-560C)  
This speaker enhances the front left  
and right speakers, making sound  
movements distinct and providing a  
full sound image. For movies it’s used  
mainly for dialog.  
Position it close to yourTV (preferably  
on top) facing forward at about ear  
level, or at the same height as the  
front left and right speakers.  
Subwoofer (SKW-560)  
The subwoofer handles the bass sounds of  
the LFE (Low-Frequency Effects) channel.  
The volume and quality of the bass output  
from your subwoofer will depend on its posi-  
tion, the shape of your listening room, and  
your listening position.In general, a good bass  
sound can be obtained by installing the sub-  
woofer in a front corner, or at one-third the way  
along the front wall, as shown.  
Surround back left and right speakers (SKB-560)  
These speakers are necessary to enjoy Dolby Digital  
EX, DTS-ES Matrix, DTS-ES Discrete, etc. They  
enhance the realism of surround sound and improve  
sound localization behind the listener. Position them  
behind the listener about 2–3 feet (60–100 cm) above  
ear level.  
Tip: To nd the best position for your sub-  
woofer, while playing a movie or some music  
with good bass, experiment by placing your  
subwoofer at various positions within the room  
and choose the one that provides the most  
satisfying results.

Speaker Configuration  
Speaker Connection Precautions  
For 7.1-channel surround-sound playback, you need  
seven speakers and a powered subwoofer.  
Read the following before connecting your speakers:  
You can connect speakers with an impedance of  
between 8 and 16 ohms. If you use speakers with a  
lower impedance, and use the amplifier at high volume  
levels for a long period of time, the built-in amp pro-  
tection circuit may be activated.  
The following table shows which channels you should  
use based on the number of speakers you have.

• Disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet before  
making any connections.  
Front right  
• Read the instructions supplied with your speakers.  
Center  
• Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect  
positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals,  
and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) termi-  
nals. If you get them the wrong way around, the sound  
will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

• Unnecessarily long or very thin speaker cables may  
affect the sound quality and should be avoided.  
* If you’re using only one surround back speaker, connect it to the  
• Be careful not to short the  
positive and negative wires.  
Doing so may damage the AV  
receiver.  
No matter how many speakers you use, a powered sub-  
woofer is recommended for a powerful and solid bass.  
• Don’t connect more than one  
cable to each speaker termi-  
nal. Doing so may damage the  
AV receiver.  
To get the best from your surround-sound system, you  
must set the speaker settings. You can do this automati-  
cally (see page 42) or manually (see page 77).  
• Don’t connect a speaker to several terminals.

walls, screw each mounting screw into a stud. If there are  
no studs, or the walls are solid, use suitable wall anchors.  
Use screws with a head diameter of 5/16" (9 mm) or less  
and a shank diameter of 1/8" (4 mm) or less. With hollow  
walls, use a cable/pipe detector to check for any power  
cables or water pipes before making any holes.

ANTENNA  
Notes:  
• Outdoor FM antennas work best outside, but usable  
results can sometimes be obtained when installed in an  
attic or loft.  
OutdoorAM antennas work best when installed horizon-  
tally outside, but good results can sometimes be obtained  
indoors by mounting horizontally above a window. Note  
that the AM loop antenna should be left connected.  
• For best results, install the outdoor FM antenna well  
away from tall buildings, preferably with a clear line  
of sight to your local FM transmitter.  
Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance with  
local regulations to prevent electrical shock hazards.  
• Outdoor antenna should be located away from possi-  
ble noise sources, such as neon signs, busy roads, etc.  
• For safety reasons, outdoor antenna should be situated  
well away from power lines and other high-voltage  
equipment.  
• Outdoor antenna must be grounded in accordance  
with local regulations to prevent electrical shock haz-  
ards.  
Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter  
It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV  
reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir-  
cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as  
shown.

Which Connections Should I Use?  
The AV receiver supports several connection formats for compatibility with a wide range of AV equipment. The format  
you choose will depend on the formats supported by your other components. Use the following sections as a guide.  
For video components, you must make an audio connection and a video connection.  
Video Connection Formats

Notes:  
• The AV receiver must be turned on for recording. Recording is not possible while it’s on Standby.  
• If you want to record directly from your TV or another video source without going through the AV receiver, connect  
the audio and video outputs from your TV or other video component directly to the recording VCR/DVR’s audio and  
video inputs. See the manuals supplied with your TV or VCR/DVR for details.  
• Video signals connected to composite video inputs can only be recorded via the VCR/DVR OUT V jack. So if your  
source TV or VCR is connected to a composite video input, the recording VCR/DVR must be connected to the  
VCR/DVR OUTV jack. Likewise, video signals connected to S-Video inputs can only be recorded via theVCR/DVR  
OUT S jack. So if your source TV or VCR is connected to an S-Video input, the recording VCR/DVR must be  
connected to the VCR/DVR OUT S jack.

Connecting Components with HDMI  
About HDMI  
Designed to meet the increased demands of digital TV, HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) is a new digital  
interface standard for connecting TVs, projectors, DVD players, set-top boxes, and other video components. Until now,  
several separate video and audio cables have been required to connect AV components. With HDMI, a single cable can  
carry control signals, digital video, and up to eight channels of digital audio (2-channel PCM, multichannel digital  
audio, or multichannel PCM).  
*1  
The HDMI video stream (i.e., video signal) is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays  
with a DVI input can be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (This may not work with some TVs and  
displays, resulting in no picture.)  
The AV receiver uses HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), so only HDCP-compatible components will  
display a picture.  
The AV receiver’s HDMI interface is based on the following standard:  
HT-R560: Pass-thru  
About Copyright Protection  
*2  
The AV receiver supports HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection), a copy-protection system for digital  
video signals. Other devices connected to the AV receiver via HDMI must also support HDCP.  
Use a commercially available HDMI cable (supplied with some components) to connect the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT  
to the HDMI input on your TV or projector.  
*1 DVI (Digital Visual Interface): The digital display interface standard set by the DDWG*3 in 1999.  
*2 HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection): The video encryption technology developed by Intel for HDMI/DVI. It’s designed to  
protect video content and requires a HDCP-compatible device to display the encrypted video.  
*3 DDWG (Digital Display Working Group): Led by Intel, Compaq, Fujitsu, Hewlett Packard, IBM, NEC, and Silicon Image, this open  
industry group’s objective is to address the industry's requirements for a digital connectivity specification for high-performance PCs and  
digital displays.

ConnectingYour Components—Continued  
Making HDMI Connections  
If you have an HDMI-compatible player, you can connect it to the AV receiver with an HDMI cable.  
Step 1: Connect your HDMI-compatible TV to the AV receiver’s HDMI OUT jack.  
Step 2: Connect your HDMI-compatible player to the AV receiver’s HDMI IN 1, 2, or 3 jack.  
Step 3: Connect your HDMI-compatible player to an analog and/or digital audio input on the AV  
receiver.  
Step 4: Assign the HDMI IN.  
Turn on the AV receiver, and then assign the HDMI IN (see page 44).  
Audio Signals  
• Audio and video signals received via inputs other than the HDMI IN jacks are not output by the HDMI OUT.  
• Audio and video signals received via the HDMI IN jacks are output only by the HDMI OUT.  
• To watch an HDMI source that’s connected via the AV receiver’s HDMI jacks, the AV receiver must be turned  
on, otherwise no HDMI signal will be output.  
• If you want to listen through the speakers connected to the AV receiver, in addition to an HDMI connection,  
you’ll also need to make a separate analog or digital audio connection.

Notes:  
• The HDMI video stream is compatible with DVI (Digital Visual Interface), so TVs and displays with a DVI input can  
be connected by using an HDMI-to-DVI adapter cable. (Note that DVI connections only carry video, so you’ll need  
to make a separate connection for audio.) However, reliable operation with such an adapter is not guaranteed. In  
addition, video signals from a PC are not supported.  
• When listening to an HDMI component through the AV receiver, set the HDMI component so that its video can be  
seen on the TV screen (on the TV, select the input of the HDMI component connected to the AV receiver). If the TV  
power is off or the TV is set to another input source, this may result in no sound from the AV receiver or the sound  
may be cut off.  
• The HDMI audio signal (sampling rate, bit length, etc.) may be restricted by the connected source component. If the  
picture is poor or there’s no sound from a component connected via HDMI, check its setup. Refer to the connected  
component’s instruction manual for details.

ConnectingYour Components—Continued  
Connecting Onkyo  
Components  
Step 1: Make sure that each Onkyo component is connected to the AV receiver with an analog audio cable (RCA).  
Step 2: Make the necessary connections (see illustration below).  
Step 3: If you’re using an MD or CDR component, change the Input Display (see page 46).  
With  
(Remote Interactive), you can use the following special functions:  
Auto Power On/Standby  
When you start playback on a component connected via  
on and select that component as the input source. Similarly, when the AV receiver is set to Standby, all components  
connected via will also go on Standby. This function will not work with components that are connected to an AC  
, if the AV receiver is on Standby, it will automatically turn  
OUTLET on the AV receiver.  
Direct Change  
When playback is started on a component connected via  
, the AV receiver automatically selects that component as  
the input source. If your DVD player is connected to the AV receiver’s DVD IN (multichannel input), you’ll need to  
press the [MULTI CH] button repeatedly and select Multich to hear all channels (see page 47), as the Direct Change  
function selects the DVD IN FRONT L/R jacks.  
Remote Control  
You can use the AV receiver’s remote controller to control your other  
-capable Onkyo components. You must enter  
the appropriate remote control code first (see page 83). And remember to point the remote controller at the AV receiver  
and not the other component.  
Notes:  
IN  
• Use only  
are supplied with Onkyo players (DVD, CD, etc.).  
• Some components have two jacks. You can con-  
nect either one to the AV receiver. The other jack is  
for connecting additional -capable components.  
• Connect only Onkyo components to jacks. Con-  
cables for  
connections.

First Time Setup  
This section explains the settings that you need to make before using the AV receiver for the very first time.  
Using Audyssey 2EQ  
Automatic Speaker Setup  
(Audyssey 2EQ)  
Notes:  
With the supplied calibrated microphone,Audyssey 2EQ  
automatically determines the number of speakers con-  
nected, their size for purposes of bass management,  
optimum crossover frequencies to the subwoofer (if  
present), and distances from the primary listening posi-  
tion. Audyssey 2EQ then removes the distortion caused  
by room acoustics by capturing room acoustical prob-  
time domain. The result is clear, well-balanced sound for  
everyone. Enabling Audyssey 2EQ allows you to also  
use Audyssey Dynamic EQ, which maintains the proper  
octave-to-octave balance at any volume level. (See  
page 76)  
• If the AV receiver is muted, it will be unmuted  
automatically when the automatic speaker setup  
starts.  
• Automatic speaker setup cannot be performed  
while a pair of headphones is connected.  
• It takes about 10 minutes to complete the auto-  
matic speaker setup for three positions. Total mea-  
surement time varies depending on the speakers.  
• Do not connect or disconnect any speakers during  
the automatic speaker setup.

Notes:  
• For all measurements, the microphone capsule should  
point directly at the ceiling.  
• If there’s an obstacle between the microphone and any  
speaker, the automatic setup will not work correctly.  
Set up the room as you would when enjoying a DVD.  
• Positioning the microphone close to where your ears  
would normally be will provide better results.You can  
adjust the height of the microphone by using a tripod  
or level table.  
• Do not attempt to hold the microphone in your hand  
during measurements as this will produce incorrect  
results.

What is RDS?  
Science and technology  
Varied  
RDS stands for Radio Data System and is a method of  
transmitting data in FM radio signals. It was developed  
by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and is avail-  
able in most European countries. RDS is approved by the  
National Radio Systems Committee (NRSC) and is  
available in North America.  
Many FM stations use it these days. In addition to dis-  
playing text information, RDS can also help you find  
radio stations by type (e.g., news, sport, rock, etc.).  
The AV receiver supports four types of RDS informa-  
tion:  
Pop music  
Rock music  
Middle of the road music  
Light classics  
Serious classics  
Other music

Notes:  
• In some cases, the characters displayed on the AV  
receiver may not be identical to those broadcast by the  
radio station. Also, unexpected characters may be dis-  
played when unsupported characters are received.  
This is not a malfunction.  
• If the signal from an RDS station is weak, RDS data  
may be displayed intermittently or not at all.

About the Listening Modes  
Use this mode with DVDs that bear the Dolby Digital  
logo, and Dolby Digital TV broadcasts. This is the most  
common digital surround-sound format, and it’ll put you  
right in the middle of the action, just like being in a  
movie theater or concert hall.  
The AV receiver’s listening modes can transform your

high fidelity and stunning surround sound.

5.1-channel source + Dolby EX  
These modes expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-  
channel playback. They’re especially suited to Dolby EX  
soundtracks that include a matrix-encoded surround  
back channel. The additional channel adds an extra  
dimension and provides an enveloping surround sound  
experience, perfect for rotating and fly-by sound effects.

Direct  
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Music mode  
to expand 5.1-channel sources for 6.1/7.1-channel play-  
back.  
In this mode, audio from the input source is output  
directly with minimal processing, providing high-fidel-  
ity reproduction. All of the source’s audio channels are  
output as they are.  
5.1-channel source + Dolby PLIIx Movie  
These modes use the Dolby Pro Logic IIx Movie mode  
to expand 5.1-channel sources for 7.1-channel playback.  
Stereo  
Sound is output by the front left and right speakers and  
subwoofer.  
DTS  
The DTS digital surround-sound format supports up to  
5.1 discrete channels and uses less compression for high-  
fidelity reproduction. Use it with DVDs and CDs that  
bear the DTS logo.  
Mono  
Use this mode when watching an old movie with a mono  
soundtrack, or use it with the foreign language  
soundtracks recorded in the left and right channels of  
some movies. It can also be used with DVDs or other  
sources containing multiplexed audio, such as karaoke  
DVDs.  
DTS 96/24  
This mode is for use with DTS 96/24 sources. This is  
high-resolution DTS with a 96kHz sampling rate and 24-  
bit resolution, providing superior fidelity. Use it with  
DVDs that bear the DTS 96/24 logo.  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx  
Dolby Pro Logic II  
DTS-ES Discrete  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx expands any 2-channel source for  
7.1-channel playback. It provides a very natural and  
seamless surround-sound experience that fully envelops  
the listener. As well as music and movies, video games  
can also benefit from the dramatic spatial effects and  
vivid imaging. If you’re not using any surround back  
speakers, Dolby Pro Logic II will be used instead of  
Dolby Pro Logic IIx.  
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Discrete soundtracks,  
that use a discrete surround back channel for true  
6.1/7.1-channel playback. The seven totally separate  
audio channels provide better spatial imaging and 360-  
degree sound localization, perfect for sounds that pan  
across the surround channels. Use it with DVDs that bear  
the DTS-ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Dis-  
crete soundtrack.  
Dolby PLIIx Movie  
DTS-ES Matrix  
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround  
(Pro Logic) movie (e.g., TV, DVD, VHS).  
This mode is for use with DTS-ES Matrix soundtracks,  
that use a matrix-encoded back-channel for 6.1/7.1-  
channel playback. Use it with DVDs that bear the DTS-  
ES logo, especially those with a DTS-ES Matrix  
soundtrack.  
Dolby PLIIx Music  
Use this mode with any stereo or Dolby Surround  
(Pro Logic) music source (e.g., CD, radio, cassette,  
TV, VHS, DVD).  
Dolby PLIIx Game  
Use this mode with video games, especially those  
that bear the Dolby Pro Logic II logo.

Using the Listening Modes—Continued  
Onkyo Original DSP Modes  
DTS Neo:6  
This mode expands any 2-channel source for 7.1-chan-  
nel playback. It uses seven full-bandwidth channels of  
matrix decoding for matrix-encoded material, providing  
a very natural and seamless surround sound experience  
that fully envelops the listener.  
Mono Movie  
This mode is suitable for old movies and other mono  
sources. The center speaker outputs the sound as it is,  
while reverb is applied to the sound output by the other  
speakers, giving presence to even mono material.  
Neo:6 Cinema (NEO:6 Cin)  
Use this mode with any stereo movie (e.g., TV,  
DVD, VHS).  
Orchestra  
Suitable for classical or operatic music, this mode  
emphasizes the surround channels in order to widen the  
stereo image and simulates the natural reverberation of a  
large hall.  
Neo:6 Music (NEO:6 Mus)  
Use this mode with any stereo music source (e.g.,  
CD, radio, cassette, TV, VHS, DVD).  
5.1-channel source + Neo:6  
Unplugged  
This mode uses Neo:6 to expand 5.1-channel sources for  
6.1/7.1-channel playback.  
Suitable for acoustic instruments, vocals, and jazz, this  
mode emphasizes the front stereo image, giving the  
impression of being right in front of the stage.  
Studio-Mix  
Suitable for rock or pop music, listening to music in this  
mode creates a lively sound field with a powerful acous-  
tic image, like being at a club or rock concert.  
TV Logic  
This mode adds realistic acoustics to TV shows pro-  
duced in a TV studio, surround effects to the entire  
sound, and clarity to voices.  
All Ch Stereo (AllCh St)  
Ideal for background music, this mode fills the entire lis-  
tening area with stereo sound from the front, surround,  
and surround back speakers.  
Full Mono  
In this mode, all speakers output the same sound in  
mono, so the sound you hear is the same regardless of  
where you are within the listening room.  
T-D (Theater-Dimensional)  
or  
With this mode you can enjoy a virtual 5.1 surround  
sound even with only two or three speakers. This works  
by controlling how sounds reach the listener’s left and  
right ears. Good results may not be possible if there’s too  
much reverb, so we recommend that you use this mode  
in an environment with little or no natural reverb.

Recording  
This section explains how to record the input source and  
how to record audio and video from separate sources.  
Recording from Different AV Sources  
You can overdub audio onto your video recordings by  
simultaneously recording audio and video from two sep-  
arate sources. This is possible because only the audio  
source is switched when an audio-only input source,  
such as TAPE, TUNER, or CD, is selected, the video  
source remains the same.  
In the following example, audio from the CD player con-  
nected to the CD IN and video from the camcorder con-  
nected to the AUX INPUT VIDEO jack are recorded by  
the VCR connected to the VCR/DVR OUT jacks.  
Notes:  
• The surround sound and DSP listening modes cannot  
be recorded.  
• Copy-protected DVDs cannot be recorded.  
• Sources connected to the analog multichannel input  
cannot be recorded.  
• Sources connected to a digital input cannot be  
recorded. Only analog inputs can be recorded.  
• DTS signals will be recorded as noise, so don’t  
attempt analog recording of DTS CDs or LDs.

Center Width  
Setup closes.  
With this setting, you can adjust the width of the sound  
from the center speaker when using the Dolby Pro Logic  
IIx Music listening mode. Normally, if you’re using a  
center speaker, the center channel sound is output by  
only the center speaker. (If you’re not using a center  
speaker, the center channel sound will be distributed to  
the front left and right speakers to create a phantom cen-  
ter). This setting controls the front left, right, and center  
mix, allowing you to adjust the weight of the center  
channel sound. It can be adjusted from 0 to 7. The default  
value is 3.  
The Audio Adjust settings are explained below.

You can select 0 dB (default), +5 dB, +10 dB, or +15 dB.  
If you find that your subwoofer is too loud, try the  
+10 dB or +15 dB setting.  
The DTS Neo:6 Music listening mode creates 6-channel  
surround sound from 2-channel stereo sources. With this  
setting, you can specify by how much the front left and  
right channel output is attenuated in order to create the  
center channel. It can be adjusted from 0 to 5. The  
default value is 2.  
Using the Audio Settings  
When set to 0, the front left and right channel output is  
attenuated by half (–6 dB), giving the impression that the  
sound is located centrally. This setting works well when  
the listening position is considerably off center. When  
set to 5, the front left and right channels are not attenu-  
ated, maintaining the original stereo balance.  
You can change various audio settings by pressing the

Late Night Function  
Music Optimizer  
Late Night  
M.Optimizer  
With the Late Night function, you can reduce the  
dynamic range of Dolby Digital material so that you can  
still hear quiet parts even when listening at low volume  
levels—ideal for watching movies late at night when you  
don’t want to disturb anyone.  
The Music Optimizer function enhances the sound qual-  
ity of compressed music files. Use it with music files that  
use “lossy” compression, such as MP3.  
Off: Music Optimizer off (default).  
On: Music Optimizer on.  
For Dolby Digital sources, the options are:  
Note:  
Off: Late Night function off (default).  
Low: Small reduction in dynamic range.  
High: Large reduction in dynamic range.  
• The Music Optimizer function only works with PCM  
digital audio input signals with a sampling rate below  
48kHz and analog audio input signals. The Music  
Optimizer is disabled when the Direct listening mode  
is selected.  
Notes:  
• The Late Night function can be used only when the  
input source is Dolby Digital.  
• The effect of the Late Night function depends on the  
material that you are playing and the intention of the  
original sound designer, and with some material there  
will be little or no effect when you select the different  
options.  
Speaker Levels  
You can adjust the volume of each speaker while listen-  
ing to an input source.  
These temporary adjustments are cancelled when theAV  
receiver is set to Standby.

A/V Sync  
Note:  
When using progressive scanning on your DVD player,  
you may find that the picture and sound are out of sync.  
With this setting, you can correct this by delaying the  
audio signals. You can set it from 0 to 100 milliseconds  
(ms) in 20 millisecond steps.  
• The CinemaFILTER may not work when used with  
certain input sources.

Note:  
DynamicEQ  
• This setting is not available when the Direct listening  
mode is used with an analog input signal.  
WithAudyssey Dynamic EQ, you can enjoy great sound  
even when listening at low volume levels.  
Audyssey Dynamic EQ solves the problem of deteriorat-  
ing sound quality as volume is decreased by taking into  
account human perception and room acoustics. It does so  
by selecting the correct frequency response and surround  
volume levels moment-by-moment so that the content  
sounds the way it was created at any volume level--not  
just at reference level.  
Off: Audyssey Dynamic EQ off.  
On: Audyssey Dynamic EQ on.  
Note:  
• Audyssey Dynamic EQ can be set only when the  
Equalizer Settings on page 81 are set to Audyssey.

Troubleshooting  
If you have any trouble using the AV receiver, look for a  
solution in this section. If you can’t resolve the issue

channels and the surround back speakers produce no  
sound (page 7).  
ing mode and the DTS indicator remains on. This is to  
prevent noise when you use the pause, fast forward, or  
fast reverse function on your player. If you switch your  
player from DTS to PCM, as the AV receiver does not  
switch formats immediately, you may not hear any-  
thing, in which case you should stop your player for  
about 3 seconds, and then resume playback.  
• With some CD players, you won’t be able to playback  
DTS material properly even though your player is con-  
nected to a digital input on the AV receiver. This is  
usually because the DTS bitstream has been processed  
(e.g., output level, sampling rate, or frequency  
response changed) and the AV receiver doesn’t recog-  
nize it as a genuine DTS signal. In such cases, you  
may hear noise.  
The subwoofer produces no sound  
• If the source material contains no audio in the LFE  
channel, the subwoofer produces no sound.  
• Check the Speaker Configuration (page 77).  
There’s no sound with a certain signal format  
• Check the digital audio output setting on the source  
component. On some game consoles, such as those  
that can play DVDs, the default setting is off.  
• With some DVD-Video discs, you need to select an  
audio format from a menu or with the AUDIO button  
on your DVD player’s remote controller.  
The beginning of audio received by an HDMI IN  
can’t be heard  
• Since it takes longer to identify the format of an  
HDMI signal than it does for other digital audio sig-  
nals, sound may not be output immediately.  
Can’t get 6.1- or 7.1-channel playback  
• While speaker set B is on, playback in the main room  
speakers produce no sound (page 7).  
Video  
There’s no picture  
• Make sure that all video connecting plugs are pushed  
in all the way (page 27).  
• Make sure that each video component is properly con-  
nected.  
• On your TV, make sure that the video input to which  
the AV receiver is connected is selected.  
• While the Pure Audio listening mode is selected, the  
video circuitry is turned off and only the HDMI OUT  
outputs video signals.  
The volume cannot be set to 79 (99)  
• After the Automatic Speaker Setup function has been  
run, or the volume level of each individual speaker has  
been adjusted (pages 42 and 80), the maximum vol-  
ume may be reduced.  
• When the levels of each speaker have been adjusted  
(page 80), the maximum possible volume may be  
reduced.  
• The AV receiver does not convert between formats, so  
nent video input, your TV must be connected to the  
component video output (page 28).  
• If the video source is connected to an HDMI input,  
your TV must be connected to the HDMI OUT  
(page 28).  
Noise can be heard  
• Using cable ties to bundle audio cables with power  
cords, speaker cables, and so on can degrade audio  
performance, so don’t use them.  
• An audio cable may be picking up interference. Try  
repositioning your cables.  
• When the Equalizer setting (page 81) is set to Audys-  
sey, the maximum possible volume is reduced by  
6 dB.  
There’s no picture from a source connected to  
• Reliable operation with an HDMI-to-DVI adapter is  
not guaranteed. In addition, video signals from a PC  
are not supported (page 36).  
• If the message “Resolution Error” appears on the AV  
receiver’s display, this indicates that your TV does not  
support the current video resolution and you need to  
select another resolution on your DVD player.  
• Make sure that the source is Dolby Digital (page 76).  
The analog multichannel input doesn’t work  
• Check the multichannel input connections (page 31).  
• Make sure that the multichannel input is selected  
(page 47).  
• Check the audio output settings on your DVD player.  
About DTS signals  
• When playing DTS program material, using the pause,  
fast forward, or fast reverse function on your player  
may produce a short audible noise. This is not a mal-  
function.  
• When DTS program material ends and the DTS bit-  
stream stops, the AV receiver remains in DTS listen-

• When a pair of headphones is connected, the listening  
mode is set to Stereo, unless it’s already set to Stereo,  
Mono, or Direct, in which case it stays the same.  
• Relocate your antenna.  
• Move the AV receiver away from your TV or com-  
puter.  
• When listening to anAM station, operating the remote  
controller may cause noise.  
• Passing cars and airplanes can cause interference.

You must use the buttons on the unit to make these set-  
tings.  
1. While holding down the input selector button for the  
input source that you want to set, press the [SETUP]  
button.  
• Make sure you’ve entered the correct remote control  
code (page 82).

ler mode.  
2. Use the Left and Right [ ]/[ ] buttons to change  
the setting.  
3. Press the [SETUP] button when you’ve finished.  
• If you’ve connected an  
-capable Onkyo MD  
recorder or CD recorder to the TAPE IN/OUT jacks,  
or to the CBL/SAT IN jacks, for the remote controller  
to work properly, you must set the Input Display to  
MD or CDR, respectively (see page 46).  
• The entered remote control code may not be correct. If  
more than one code is listed, try each one.  
• With some AV components, certain buttons may not  
work as expected, and some may not work at all.  
• To control an Onkyo component that’s connected via  
, point the remote controller at the AV receiver. Be  
sure to enter the appropriate remote control code first  
(page 83).  
Video Attenuation  
This setting can be made for the DVD, VCR/DVR,  
CBL/SAT, or AUX input.  
If you have a games console connected to the  
S-Video or composite video input, and the picture  
isn’t very clear, you can attenuate the gain.  
Video ATT:0: (default).  
Video ATT:2: Gain is reduced by 2 dB.  
The AV receiver contains a microcomputer for signal pro-  
cessing and control functions. In very rare situations,  
severe interference, noise from an external source, or  
static electricity may cause it to lockup.In the unlikely event  
that this happens, unplug the power cord from the wall out-  
let, wait at least 5 seconds, and then plug it back in again.  
• To control an Onkyo component that’s not connected  
via  
, or another manufacturer’s component, point  
the remote controller at that component. Be sure to  
enter the appropriate remote control code first  
(page 82).  
Onkyo is not responsible for damages (such as CD  
rental fees) due to unsuccessful recordings caused by  
this unit’s malfunction. Before you record important  
data, make sure that the material will be recorded cor-  
rectly.  
Recording  
Can’t record  
• On your recorder, make sure the correct input is  
selected.  
• To prevent signal loops and damage to the AV  
receiver, input signals are not fed through to outputs  
Before disconnecting the power cord from the wall out-  
let, set the AV receiver to Standby.
